Stan, Mabel, Dipper and I sat down in front of the television, watching an episode of Cash Wheel. "Ladies and gentlemen, we now return to Cash Wheel! Sponsored by Chipackerz, the chip flavoured crackers!"

"But they taste just like chips!" Mabel argues, grabbing a handful of Chipackerz from the Chipackerz packet and shoves them into her mouth greedily.

I scoot closer to Mabel. "Could I try some Mabel?"'I've always wanted to try some after watching the show.'

"Sure!" Mabel passes the chip packet to me.

I grab a chip, popping it into my mouth and sure enough, it did actually taste like chips in the form of crackers. "This stuff is good," I nod in approval and return the chip packet back to Mabel.

Mabel nods in agreement and continues indulging in her chips.

"Congratulations! You're taking a..." The TV announcer paused dramatically. "Cash shower!"

After watching the person in the middle punching and slapping the other two contestants just to ensure that he collected all the cash from the cash shower, I was going to advise the twins not to act as he did and not to do things that were beyond the pale before I was interrupted by Soos. "Mr Pines! We got tourists at 9 o'clock! A whole busload of 'em!"

Stan peers out of the Mystery Shack's window and sure enough, he saw tourists unloading from a tourist bus. "Hot tamales, it's a jackpot! Soos! Make some new attractions!"

"You got it, boss!" Soos glues a wolf's head onto a chicken's body, coming with another 'exotic' and made-up tourist attraction.

Stan calls out again but this time to Wendy, "Wendy! Mark up those prices! The higher the better!"

Wendy looks on apathetically but complies, adding a zero to the price tag. She even goes on to add on another zero when Stan urges her to do so.

"Eesh, Grunkle Stan. It's like when you see tourists, all you see are wallets with legs," Dipper remarks.

"That is because he does," I told Dipper matter-of-factly.

"That's not true," Stan rubbishes our claims and continues to look outside the window, though I knew very well that he was clearly imagining the tourists walking out of the bus as walking wallets.

I point at Stan who was still enmeshed in his dream. "Look he's doing it now." Dipper laughs at this, his laughter ceasing after Stan comes back to reality and orders him to clean up the barf outside.

Dipper then went to retrieve a bucket of water and a mop, heading outside tentatively to clean up the mess.

Me being a good brother and sympathising with him, I proffer him my assistance which he unsurprisingly gratefully accepts. I grab the bucket of water from him, helping him carry it and making my way outside with him. Together, we clean up the mess in no time.

Time Skip

After Dipper was humiliated by wearing that wolf costume for the umpteenth time today, he, alongside Mabel and I (I guess we came for moral support), decide to complain to Stan because he had enough of wearing it and seeing all the fake exhibits in the Shack. "You've got all these dumb, fake exhibits in the Shack. Meanwhile, I've seen actual, amazing things in the forest every day! What if you hunted down a real attraction instead of lying to people for a living?"

"And you should be nicer to your employees, too!" Mabel added before Stan could answer Dipper, sharing a high-five with Dipper soon afterwards.

"Look, you guys got a problem with how I run the Shack, take it up with the complaints department," Stan holds up a rubbish can and waves it in front of our faces. "Zing!"
